Lighting oil/ghee lamps in Temples considered as one of the greatest virtues since ages.

In ancient times, people donated goats, cows, buffaloes to Temples to light lamps.

To light a perpetual lamp, Temples collected 96 Goats/48 Cows/16 Buffaloes as deposit from donors. As per one of the inscriptions on the enclosure wall in Thanjavur Brihadeeshwara Temple, 78 perpetual lamps were lit by Rajaraja in the Temple everyday, amongst, 59 of them were lit using cow ghee & the rest using goat ghee.

No words yet from saviours of farmers With so many norms to open a bank account, how banks facilitated accounts in the names of dead?

Your @narendramodi @PMOIndia scheme meant to benefit poor farmers is hijacked, please look into it. @HMOIndia @CMOTamilNadu @OfficeOfOPS

Meanwhile in Trichy, Muhammad Farooq, a religious preacher, proclaimed himself to be an incarnation of prophet, raped a couple of his friends wives.

Tragically, one of the victims was forced to sleep with him by her husband himself. tamil.news18.com/news/live-upda…

அமெரிக்கா சந்திர மண்டலத்துக்குப் போறான், இந்த ராமாயணம், பாரதம், நாலடியார், குறள், சங்க இலக்கியம், மதம் தவிர என்ன இருக்கு 2000 வருஷமா?

ஏனில்லை? என்ன இல்லை?

பொய்களை உடைக்கிறார் @RangarajPandeyR சங்க இலக்கியங்களிலேயே வானியல் சாஸ்திரங்கள் பற்றியும், சூரியன், மற்ற கோள்கள் பற்றியும் ஏராளமான தகவல்கள் கொட்டிக் கிடக்கின்றன.

Gau Mutra as medicine in Chozha inscriptions!

A Chozha Temple dedicated to Vishnu @ Pazhaya Seevaram near Kanchipuram, also functioned as a hospital with facilities to treat 15 inpatients.

An inscription lists out 20 medicines that were used to treat ailments, One is Gau Mutra. The hospital, according to a 11th Century CE, ViraRajendra Chozha inscription, had a physician, surgeon & barber.

Grants were given by ViraRajendra to celebrate Jenmashtami!

Interesting to note that Jenmashtami was celebrated in TN in 11th century itself.

Madurai man who has been tested positive for #COVIDー19 had reportedly attended a religious event in Erode organized by 6 Islamic preachers!

2 of those 6 Preachers have been tested positive. People at least now should understand the seriousness of community transmission, and restrict their travels, at best, can quarantine themselves at home!

Mad rush at Koyambedu & Tambaram bus terminals are seriously scary.

#COVIDー19

PTTV host says Indian students in Italy are suffering for nearly 3 months to return home over #COVID19 outbreak, but GoI is doing nothing to bring them back.

1st COVID case tested +Ve in Italy on 30th Jan, hardly 45 days ago.

PTTV all out spreading false propaganda against GoI 2nd, There are restrictions in place on tourists / visa holders from leaving the country.

3rd, Health clearance is delayed to those who want to leave the country, as experts are busy dealing with #COVID cases.

Amongst Vaishnava temples in Chola Country, only #Srirangam had the privilege of being celebrated by almost the entire Vijayalaya clan, except Arinjaya, Rajendra ii & VErarajendra!

A whopping 192 inscriptions recorded the contributions of Cholas, of which 83 belongs to Kulotunga #WalkToTemple

Months ago, a local church did not allow Thanjavur Brihadeeshwara Temple's chariot procession to pass through their street.

Today Christians are part of protests demanding Tamil consecration to Brihadeeshwara Temple.

Agenda is not the language, but to somehow stop the event. Two Muslim political parties, Indian Union Muslim League & Manidha Neya Makkal Katchi are part of protests demanding Tamil consecration to Brihadeeshwara Temple!

Do these parties accept Lord Shiva worship? Will advocate reciting Thirumurais to their followers?

10 resolutions that EVR passed during his "Salem Conference" in 1971.

Modi to Tamils

Dedicated Chola Emperor Rajendra's portrait to Mazgon Docks!

Showcased TN's greatest Pallava architecture to the world by inviting Chinese Prez!

Now named Tanjore Sukhoi squadron after Tigershark, Tiger was the emblem of Cholas!

They say Modi is anti Tamil. Modi lauded ancient Tamil kings water management system in his Mann Ki Baat.

He invoked Kaniyan Poongundranar in his UN address.

He invoked Thirukkural during his Thailand visit..

But they still say..Modi is anti Tamil.

What triggered Cho to conduct Thuglak Readers Conference every year?

Cho recalls it in his book "Adhirshtam Thandha Anubhavangal" (Experiences by luck). Cho wanted to "April Fool" his Thuglak Readers, hence he made an announcement in Thuglak that he wanted to know the opinions of his readers whether they want him to continue writing political satires.

Announcement requested readers to assemble at "Woodlands" hotel on April 1st.

AR Suman, an YouTuber with playback singing aspirations, a native of Kanyakumari, says when he was looking for opportunities, he was asked to CONVERT for a better future in playback singing industry, that he refused, saying that my Principles are dearer than the FUTURE you offer. ....

Tamil media is very particular about demonizing Central BJP Govt over #Keezhadi excavation & tries to Brand them Anti Tamils.

Minister @mafoikprajan excellently handles him and rebuts his claims one by one. There is no reason to believe that Central Govt is playing a spoiler to Keezhadi excavations.

It was Central Govt that gave a go ahead to 4th phase of excavations, both the then & present cultural mins r very cooperative, are of no opinion that Tamil culture is against Indian.

Christian Educational Institutions are not safe for the future of girl children, observes Madras HC over at least 34 girls students of Madras Christian College sexually harassed by a faculty member.

Also observed that Missionaries are indulging in compulsory conversion! Court further observed that Christian missionaries preaching of morality is a million dollar question!

Vadalur, TN, SD Eden Matric School imposes Christianity in an unique way!

A for Adam

B for Bible

C for Christ, and Christ is the only Saviour!

Even semens will be baptized in future. I for Emmanuel, conversion at its best! 😂😂😂
